Website Review : HowRank.com | SEO & Webmaster Tools + Search
As I promised a review with do-follow backlinks in Competition : Think Hard and Get Rewarded, and HowRank was only one member to participate - he deserved a review. But as they are professional in SEO - I’ll just try to criticise their website.
HowRank.com has a collection of SEO Tools and a directory. It has SEO tools; like - Cost Per Click (CPC) calculator, Keyword Rocket, Comapare Sites, Backlink Fetcher, Top 1000 Searches, Future PageRank Prediction, Keyword Synonyms, Keyword Typos etc.
Now a days, it’s like a trend to make websites based on SEO tools, so to keep visitors coming, webmasters should offer some different or unique tools. However, in HowRank.com I’ve not found any unique tools but I must say most of them are useful tools. However, I would like to see a combination of different tools - like PageRank Checker, Alexa Rank Checker, Backlinks Checker in a same tool. It will save visitors time.
- HowRank.com looks clean and tidy - but I’ve like to see more color and images. However, Directory looks untidy and need more attension. Directory is showing all the entries in a single page - causing a huge scrolling. It could be divided into pages.
- Header image (icon) is tagged with H1 - I think all the headings of the page; like CPC Calculator, Keywork Rocket or their 1 line explanation should be tagged with H1 for SEO reasons.
- TITLE tags are not properly utilized.
- Colume headings are not aligned.
- All the pages have 4 social bookmarking links - I would prefer to see some bookmarking options; like Technorati, Propeller(new version is released few days back), facebook etc.
- At the end of left column, there is a Google Adsense ads block - I’m not sure if it is getting any click - a link block may be placed top of the page.
- At the bottom, it shows the number of indexed pages - 50k+ pages indexed for a new website is really great achievement. They should be proud.
Overall, HowRank.com need to change their design - current design is not impressive enough to keep the visitors visiting again and again as tools are not unique. More attension to directory - it could be a great source of revenue.
At the end, I hope webdevelopers will have a bright future and great success from HowRank.com.
